<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 5293741, member: 97383"]C.G., It looks like you had a great year <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! My favorite from the group is #4, the antoninianus of Valerian. This coin is a great example of political irony <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. As it turned out, Valerian is the captive on the reverse of the coin & not a Parthian <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! My next favorite is #2, the rare antoninianus of Volusian <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I like the coinage from Antioch, & to stumble on a rare mule gives this coin importance. My 3rd favorite is #5, the well struck antoninianus of Claudius II <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.
